Begin a hiking tour in Fextal, where cars have been banished! A wide range of footpaths awaits you in this sunny landscape. But for those who prefer to ride and watch the valley pass by, there are horse drawn carriages.

Fextal, or translated from the Romansch, «Fex valley», derives its name from the Roman «feda», which means, sheep. In earlier times the people of Bergell brought vast flocks into this valley. Today Fextal belongs to the few very high valleys in Switzerland where people continue to live all year round.

The meadows are a perfect habitat for high alpine flora, especially on the treeless side of the valley which catches direct sunlight throughout the year. On the other side wander through the rich tapestry of larch and «Arve», a pine tree typical of this region and altitude.
